Youth Meeting
Saturday night we held a special youth meeting. Really it wasn’t just for the youth. Everybody came. We invited all of the other Independent Baptist Churches in town. We had a total of five churches come together. It was a wonderful time. Each church sang, and we let some of the young preachers give 10 min. messages. I preached the last message.
I know that this doesn’t seem like much in certain areas in the States, where Baptist Churches can be on every other corner. In Burkina Faso, however, this isn’t the case. The first Independent Baptist missionary that I know of in Burkina Faso came in 2002. Just a few years ago, a meeting like this could never have taken place. God blessed, and we had well over 100 people. Our teenage girls cooked the food, and our youth lead the service. It was a great time, and we plan on doing it again.
